The Truth About Guns

“Those in the law enforcement profession have complete power and authority over you, your life, you family, your loved ones, your rights, your freedom, your future, and everything precious to life.” – Onslow County, North Carolina Sheriff Ed Brown [via jdnews.com] [h/t footforthinkers.com]

Gold Dots haven’t fared all that well through ShootingTheBull410′s Ammo Quest for short-barreled 9mm pistols. But hope springs eternal, and STB’s gotten his hands on some 115-grain Gold Dots.  Maybe these will be the right formula to put the Gold Dots back on top. Or maybe they’ll be just another case of Gold Duds.

Despite their freedom-loving content and zippy graphics, watching NRA commentators commenting can be like watching paint dry. On a sailboat. In Belgium. Sorry, but there it is. Someone at America’s oldest civil rights organization must have got the memo. Colion Noir’s new talk show promises to be interesting. More important, funny. Noir does funny. And now former Navy Seal and mucho macho gun guy Dom Rasso’s Media+Lab raises his game, with this firearms-oriented Hollywood Mythbusters show. I pronounce it a hit. A big hit. So big it might get picked up by a cable net. Or not. In fact, it doesn’t matter. With the NRA’s name on it, it’s all good. Click this link on Wednesdays, starting May 5.

We’ve known it for ages, but it’s nice to finally have the numbers to back up the claim. By the time this posts, TTAG’s Facebook page will officially have more “likes” than Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, the self-proclaimed “grassroots movement” that 90% of people supposedly agree with. The funny part is that MDA regularly claims that people who like their Facebook page are actually members of their organization, thus padding their otherwise pathetically puny numbers for the mainstream media. The question is, now that we’re officially more popular, can we claim that we’re a grassroots gun rights organization with more members than Moms Demand Action? That probably won’t get a lot of MSM play, but I bet it’d bug the crap out of Shannon.

“Door prizes are supposed to be fun kind of gifts. Sometimes they can be kitschy. Sometimes they can be coupons to restaurants, but they shouldn’t be something that can actually kill someone.” – New York Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal quoted in Buffalo-area state assemblyman to offer guns as door prizes at fundraiser [at nydailynews.com]
